Deep Tissue Massage
MenuDeep Tissue Massage is marked by the slow, deep pressure that is applied to the body. Using their hands, fingers, and forearms, our massage therapists apply heavier pressure directly to the body, relaxing the muscles, tendons and fascia (connective tissue) to work out any painful, rigid tissue. Deep tissue massage techniques also increase the flow of blood throughout the body reducing painful inflammation.
Many people see deep tissue massage as a way to focus on "trouble spots" or knots. It is often compared to Swedish Massage.
